The Poor Man - Poem by Mac Adrone Adonay

It is on treasures to sayThat you are richIt’s not on gold or on silverTo prove that you are wealthy manAnd not on awards you getIn the competition of prideYour money cannot whisperTo your ears that youAre great and you canDo whatever you wantYou can boast about theThings that were laidIn your hands, But now I sayA desire of earthly things Is only a wastageLook and see your ownReflection on the mirrorAnd talk about your own selfYes, you are rich but what If your heart and mind were poor? Better is the poor manWhose heart and mind were nurturedRich with good thoughts and actionsBecause he can walk in the straight wayOf the true treasures in life.
